Evidence snapshot for Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad is documented in the evidence base through three major interventions. The Parivartan Slum Networking Project connected 8,703 households (~43,515 residents) across 41 slum communities to water, sewerage, drainage, paved roads, streetlighting and solid-waste collection by 2005, associated with a crude death rate decline from 6.9 to 3.7 per 1,000. SEWA, founded in Ahmedabad in 1972, is now the world's largest trade union of informal-sector women with 3.7 million members across 20 Indian states, integrating organising with microfinance, insurance and training to raise member incomes and reduce domestic violence. The Ahmedabad Heat Action Plan, launched after the 2010 heatwave and in full operation from 2014, modelled an estimated 1,190 deaths avoided per year (95% CI 162–2,218), though the evaluation reports no statistically significant rate-ratio differences and was limited by its ecological design.
